This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.  

This Core Concept video focuses on Virginia Held's article "Feminist Transformations of Moral Theory," and focuses on her criticism of traditional, male-centered moral theories for ignoring the moral relevance of emotion, privileging reason over emotion, and dismissing women's concerns and insights as merely emotion-driven.
